CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser.
No. 13/894,892, filed May 5, 2013, which claims the benefit of U.S.
Provisional Application No. 61/688,789, filed May 18, 2012, U.S.
Provisional Application No. 61/688,791, filed May 18, 2012 and U.S.
Provisional Application No. 61/688,792, filed May 18, 2012, the entire
disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.

BACKGROUND

[0002] 1. Field of the Application

[0003] The disclosure is directed to the field of jewelry and accessory
organization, security and display. More specifically the disclosure is
directed to a collapsible, foldable accessory organization, with security
features and detachable transportation system.

[0004] 2. Background of the Disclosure

[0005] Devices have long existed for storage of jewelry and accessories.
Typically these devices consist of jewelry boxes which are rigid and
manufactured of opaque material with limited segregated storage space and
which pose the problem of not being able to readily visually identify the
pieces of jewelry one is looking for due to pieces being stacked one on
top of the other in a disorganized form. Further due to the rigid nature
of the jewelry box, it may not be collapsed for easy transportation or
storage.

[0006] Many owners of jewelry and accessories travel from one location to
another for business or personal purposes and bring the jewelry along
with them on these trips. To date, the packing, unpacking and safe
storage of these jewelry and accessories has been a time consuming and
tedious process as multiple items of different types such as necklaces,
bracelets, earrings, watches, brooches, hair/clothing accessories and the
like are individually manipulated. These items get tangled together and
disorganized as well as may fall out of the currently available jewelry
organization devices during travelling.

[0007] Other jewelry storage devices currently existing allow for
organization of the jewelry in a flexible, hanging device with pockets
for easy viewing and storage of jewelry but these devices do not allow
for storing the jewelry in such a way that it is hidden and not readily
visible to intruders entering the premises with the purpose of stealing
valuables. Furthermore other flexible foldable jewelry organization and
storage devices do not allow for hidden storage of the
jewelry/accessories in an organized manner in removable modules which can
then be transferred as separate travel totes for transportation with only
the jewelry needed for a specific trip stored therein.

[0008] Therefore, what is needed in the industry is a jewelry/accessory
system capable of storing multiple types of accessories in an organized
manner, which also can be hidden and not readily visible to individuals
targeting jewelry to steal. Further, what is needed is a system with at
least one removable module, so that the module can store a desired subset
of jewelry on them ready to be removed and transported as a separate
travel tote during trips.

SUMMARY

[0009] In certain embodiments, an apparatus for secure accessory
organization and transportation includes at least two outer exposed
layers, wherein at least one of the outer exposed layers configured to
receive one or more accessory display and storage modules, a foldable
inner hidden layer disposed within the at least two outer exposed layers
and configured to receive one or more travel purses containing organized
sets of accessories, and one or more foldable, compact display and
storage containers configured to receive one or more display and storage
modules or one or more accessory items and configured to be stored
securely on the inner hidden layer so that the storage containers and/or
accessory items are not readily visible to an observer.

[0010] In certain embodiments, a method for making an apparatus for secure
accessory organization and transportation includes obtaining desired
materials, cutting materials into one or more pre-defined shapes, wherein
the one or more pre-defined shapes include an inner hidden layer and one
or more outer layers, coupling an inner hidden layer within one or more
outer layers, and coupling connectors to the inner hidden layer and at
least one of the one or more outer layers.

[0011] In certain embodiments, an apparatus for secure accessory
organization and transportation includes means for obtaining desired
materials, means for cutting materials into one or more pre-defined
shapes, wherein the one or more pre-defined shapes include an inner
hidden layer and one or more outer layers, means for coupling an inner
hidden layer within one or more outer layers, and means for coupling
connectors to the inner hidden layer and at least one of the one or more
outer layers.

transportation.

[0038] FIG. 2 illustrates an exemplary front view of an inner hidden layer
206 of an accessory organization, secure storage and transportation
system 100 according to certain embodiments. As shown in FIG. 2, inner
hidden layer 206 can include two opposing fabric layers of the same or
different construction and/or color which can be coupled together by
sewing, gluing, stapling or any method of fusing the two opposing layers
together. Inner hidden layer 206 can be configured such that it is a
layer separate from outer exposed dress layer 104 as shown in FIG. 2 or
inner hidden layer 206 can be configured such that it is located on the
opposite, inner side of outer exposed dress layer 104. Inner hidden layer
206 can include a panel made of but not limited to cardboard, plastic
sheeting, interfacing or other supporting material which is housed
between the two opposing fabric layers and kept in place by stitched
seams 220 which keep the two opposing fabric layers coupled to each
other. Alternatively seams 220 can be made by sewing, gluing or stapling
the two opposing fabric layers together. Such a construction segments
inner hidden layer 206 into one or more portions 226 which can give
structure to flexible accessory system 100 during folding, allowing each
of the one or more segments to be folded into a more compact package for
transportation. This type of construction further cushions the jewelry
and accessories and reduces the likelihood of their being damaged during
storage and transportation.

[0039] According to certain embodiments, the panel can alternatively be
made of polyurethane foam, polyester batting or any other material that
can provide the rigidity necessary to allow accessory system 100 to be
folded in such a manner as described. Seams 220 separating the portions
of inner hidden layer 206 containing the panels can be spaced at vertical
intervals 222 of 2 inches apart to facilitate folding. Alternatively,
this distance can be varied based on the number and width of portions
226.

[0040] Inner hidden layer 206 further can include one or more hook and
loop strip(s) 224 coupled to inner hidden layer 206 permanently by
sewing, gluing, stapling or any method of fusing hook and loop strip(s)
224 onto inner hidden layer 206. Alternatively hook and loop strip(s) 224
can be coupled in a removable manner to inner hidden layer 206 by a
magnet on both surfaces or any similar method of attachment. Hook and
loop strips 224 can be configured to receive a corresponding hook and
loop surface located on one or more jewelry dress travel purses (shown in
FIGS. 3, 8, 9 and 10) so as to couple the travel purse(s) to inner hidden
layer 206. In this way, any of travel purses 850 (shown in FIG. 8) or
1050 (shown in FIG. 10) containing several pieces of jewelry is stored
safely in an inconspicuous manner on hidden layer 206 of accessory system
100.

[0041] FIG. 3 illustrates an exemplary front view of inner hidden layer
206 of an accessory organization, secure storage and transportation
system 100 with travel purse 850 (as shown in FIG. 8) in an open
configuration coupled to it, and another travel purse 850 (as shown in
FIG. 9) in a closed configuration coupled to inner hidden layer 206
according to certain embodiments. As shown in FIG. 3, one or more travel
purses 850 (as shown in FIG. 8) containing jewelry/accessories can be
coupled to inner hidden layer 206 of accessory system 100 in a removable
manner so as to allow for storage within accessory system 100. Travel
purse(s) 850 can then also be removed and transported separately with all
the jewelry stored therein in an organized and easily accessible manner.
Travel purse 850 illustrates how the different types of
jewelry/accessories can be stored in travel purse 850 in both an open and
a closed configuration.

[0042] In accessory system 100's hanging configuration, inner hidden layer
206 and any travel purses stored thereon are not readily visible to an
observer. This configuration provides greater security for the pieces of
jewelry/accessories stored in travel purse(s) 850 and/or 1050 (shown in
FIG. 10) on hidden layer 206 as these pieces will not be readily visible
to anyone approaching the location of accessory system 100 for the
purpose of stealing jewelry/accessories. Travel purse(s) 850 and/or 1050
and any jewelry stored therein will be hidden on inner hidden layer 206,
located under outer exposed dress layer 104. Accessory system 104 will
thus only give the impression of no more than a small pretty dress
hanging on a hanger in the closet.

[0043] FIG. 4 illustrates an exemplary side view of an accessory
organization, secure storage and transportation system 100 according to
certain embodiments. As shown in FIG. 4, accessory system 100 can be
narrow in thickness, measuring approximately 1 inch or less with nothing
stored on inner hidden layer 206 and approximately 1 inch or greater with
inner hidden layer 206 having one or more travel purses 850, 1050 and/or
one or more of jewelry tabs 530, 630, 730 and/or 1130 stored thereon,
thus making it substantially 2-dimensional in shape and further
bolstering the appearance of just a dress with nothing being stored on
its interior. Accessory system 100 from the side view looks substantially
flat thereby not making it obvious to an observer that accessory system
100 has hidden interior storage.

[0044] FIG. 5A illustrates an exemplary front view of a jewelry earrings,
necklaces, and bracelets tab 530 according to certain embodiments. As
shown in FIG. 5A, tab 530 is made of a flexible yet sturdy material layer
536 such as but not limited to felt or velvet. Layer 536 is folded in
half so as to allow a proximal end 538 and a distal end 540 of layer 536
to be side-by-side as opposing ends--each end having a corresponding hook
and loop closure material thus allowing proximal end 538 to fasten to
distal end 540. Alternatively, other types of closures can be used
including ties, interlocking tabs and slots, snap closures, or any other
similar closures. This configuration creates a closed loop on tab 530 in
which jewelry such as but not limited to bracelets, necklaces or watches
can be hung between the inner opposing felt layers 542. According to
certain embodiments, a mesh layer 532 can be coupled to the front side of
layer 536 by sewing, gluing, stapling or any method of fusing mesh layer
532 to layer 536 of tab 530. Mesh layer 532 can be configured in a manner
that jewelry such as earrings can be hung off the holes in mesh layer
532. Tab 530 is thereby configured to carry and store earrings,
necklaces, bracelets and the like. Tab 530 can be configured with a total
overall length of 2 inches and an overall width of 1 inch. Alternatively,
these measurements can be varied in order to suit user need.

[0045] FIG. 5B illustrates an exemplary back view of a jewelry earrings,
necklaces, and bracelets tab 530 according to certain embodiments. As
shown in FIG. 5B, tab 530 further includes a hook and loop layer 541
coupled to the back side of felt layer 536 by sewing, gluing, stapling or
any method of fusing hook and loop layer 541 to felt layer 536 of tab
530. Hook and loop layer 541 can be configured to allow tab 530 to be
coupled to a corresponding hook and loop layer on jewelry travel purse
328 as shown in FIG. 3 or FIG. 8 or on layer 224 as shown in FIG. 3 or on
trim 112 as shown on FIG. 1.

[0046] FIG. 6A illustrates an exemplary front view of a jewelry dress
rings, etc. tab 630 according to certain embodiments. As shown in FIG.
6A, tab 630 can include a felt strip 644 coupled to a rectangular shaped
felt layer 642 at a proximal end 646 of felt strip 644 and at a distal
end 648 of felt strip 644. This configuration creates a closed loop on
tab 630 on which jewelry such as but not limited to rings and necklaces
can be hung. Felt strip 644 can be coupled to felt layer 642 in a
removable manner by a hook and loop closure at distal end 648 in order to
hold the rings and other accessories in place for secure storage and
transportation. Alternatively, other types of closures can be used
including ties, interlocking tabs and slots, snap closures, or any other
similar closures According to certain embodiments, a mesh layer 632 is
coupled to felt layer 642 by sewing, gluing, stapling or any method of
fusing mesh layer 632 to felt layer 642 of tab 630. Mesh layer 632 is
configured in a manner that jewelry such as earrings can be hung off the
holes in mesh layer 632. Tab 630 is thereby configured to carry and store
earrings, rings and the like. Tab 630 can be configured with a total
overall length of 2 inches and an overall width of 1 inch. Alternatively,
these measurements can be varied in order to suit user need.

Alternatively, strip 744 can be coupled to felt layer 742 in a removable
manner by hook and loop closures, magnets, ties, interlocking tabs and
slots, snap closures, or any other similar closures.

[0050] FIG. 8 illustrates an exemplary view of a jewelry dress travel
purse 850 in an open configuration according to certain embodiments. As
shown in FIG. 8, travel purse 850 can include two opposing fabric
layers--the first layer being an outer layer 960 (visible in the closed
position as shown in FIG. 9) and the second being an inner layer 852
(visible in the open position). Opposing fabric layers 960 (shown in FIG.
9) and 852 can be of the same or different construction and/or color and
can be coupled together permanently by sewing, gluing, stapling or any
method of fusing the two opposing layers together. Travel purse 850 also
can include a panel made of but not limited to cardboard, plastic
sheeting, interfacing or other supporting material which can be housed
between two opposing fabric layers 852 and 960 in each of section A and
section B and kept in place by stitched seams 820 which give travel purse
850 some rigidity and keep opposing fabric layers coupled to each other
in such a way as to define at least two distinct portions A and B.
Alternatively seams 820 can be made by sewing, gluing or stapling the two
opposing fabric layers together. Such a construction segments the inner
layer 852 into at least two distinct portions A and B and gives structure
to flexible travel purse 850 during folding. This allows each of two or
more segments A and B to be folded over each other in travel purse 850's
closed position (shown in FIG. 9) for storage and transportation. This
type of construction further cushions the jewelry and accessories and
reduces the likelihood of their being damaged during storage and
transportation.

[0051] According to certain embodiments, the panel can alternatively be
made of polyurethane foam, polyester batting or any other material that
can provide the rigidity necessary to allow the jewelry system to be
folded in such a manner as described. The seams 820 separating section A
and section B (at least one of which contains a panel) can be spaced a
vertical distance C of one half of an inch apart to facilitate folding.
Alternatively, this distance can be varied based on the number of
sections like A and B and length of such portions.

[0052] According to certain embodiments, inner layer 852 can be made of
any variety of one or more flexible materials such as--but not limited
to--felt, woven fabrics, knit fabrics, non-woven fabrics, leather,
artificial leather, vinyl, flexible composites, coated fabrics, or any
other similar materials. In addition, inner layer 852 can have an
additional mesh layer 858 coupled to the top of inner layer 852 by
sewing, gluing, stapling or any method of fusing mesh layer 858 to inner
layer 852. Mesh layer 858 can be configured in a manner that jewelry such
as earrings can be hung off the holes in mesh layer 858.

[0053] According to certain embodiments, travel purse 850 can further
include multiple hook and loop surfaces 854 which allow for coupling of
any of jewelry tabs 530, 630, 730 or 1130 (shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B)
with a similar hook and loop surface. This way different items of jewelry
can be stored on any of jewelry tabs 530, 630, 730 or 1130 and
transferred to travel purse 850, or 950 (shown in FIG. 9) to be packaged
in an organized manner with travel purse 850 then being stored in a
hidden manner on inner hidden layer 206 (shown in FIG. 3) of accessory
system 100. In this way jewelry is hidden in accessory system 100 in an
inconspicuous manner and kept safe from someone looking to steal
jewelry/accessories who would simply see a pretty dress hanging. Travel
purse 850 can conveniently be removed from accessory system 100 and be
transported separately, thus keeping the desired subset of jewelry pieces
in an organized manner which is easy to access.

[0054] According to certain embodiments, travel purse 850 can further
include multiple hook and loop surfaces 856 coupled to inner layer 852 on
section A which allow for coupling to corresponding hook and loop
surfaces 856 on section B to secure travel purse 850 in a folded or
closed configuration. Additionally, travel purse 850 can include two or
more straps 862 coupled to outer layer 960 in a fixed manner by sewing,
gluing, stapling or any method of fusing a proximal end 864 of each of
straps 862 to outer layer 960. Alternatively, straps 862 can be coupled
to outer layer 960 in a removable manner by hook and loop closures,
magnets, ties, interlocking tabs and slots, snap closures, or any other
similar closures. Straps 862 can each include hook and loop surfaces on
each of terminal ends 866 which can be coupled to each other to form a
closed loop and can be used to carry travel purse 850 on an individual's
shoulder as a handbag would be carried. Alternatively, straps 862 can be
wrapped around travel purse 850 in the closed configuration and coupled
together at terminal ends 866 so as to provide a tighter closure to
travel purse 850.

[0055] FIG. 9 illustrates an exemplary view of a jewelry dress travel
purse 850 in a closed configuration according to certain embodiments. As
shown in FIG. 9, travel purse 850 can include outer layer 960 and one or
more hook and loop strips 940 coupled to outer layer 960. Outer layer 960
can be made of any variety of one or more flexible materials such as--but
not limited to--felt, woven fabrics, knit fabrics, non-woven fabrics,
leather, artificial leather, vinyl, flexible composites, coated fabrics,
or any other similar materials. One or more hook and loop strip(s) 940
can be coupled to outer layer 960 either permanently by sewing, gluing,
stapling or any method of fusing hook and loop strip(s) 940 onto outer
layer 960. Alternatively, one or more hook and loop strip(s) 940 can be
coupled in a removable manner to outer layer 960 by a magnet on both
surfaces and any similar method of attachment. Straps 862 each include
hook and loop surfaces on each of terminal ends 866 which can be coupled
to each other to form a closed loop which can be used to carry travel
purse 850 on an individual's shoulder as a handbag would be carried.
Alternatively, straps 862 can be wrapped around travel purse 850 in the
closed configuration and coupled together at each of terminal ends 866 so
as to provide a tighter closure to travel purse 850. Hook and loop strip
(s) 940 can be configured to be coupled to corresponding hook and loop
strip(s) 224 on hidden layer 206 of accessory system 100 as shown in FIG.

[0056] FIG. 10 illustrates an exemplary view of a second jewelry dress
travel purse 1050 in an open configuration according to certain
embodiments. As shown in FIG. 10, travel purse 1050 is similar in
construction to travel purse 850 (shown in FIGS. 9 and 10) and can
include two opposing fabric layers--the first layer being an outer layer
(not shown) similar to outer layer 960 of jewelry travel purse 850 (shown
in FIG. 9) and an inner layer 1052 (visible in the open position). The
outer layer (not shown) and inner layer 1052 can be of the same or
different construction and/or color and can be coupled together
permanently by sewing, gluing, stapling or any method of fusing the two
opposing layers together. Travel purse 1050 also can include a panel made
of but not limited to cardboard, plastic sheeting, interfacing or other
supporting material which can be housed between the outer layer and inner
layer 1052 in each of section A and section B of travel purse 1050 and
kept in place by stitched seams 1020 in such a way as to define at least
two distinct portions A and B. Alternatively seams 1020 can be made by
sewing, gluing or stapling the two opposing fabric layers together. Such
a construction segments inner layer 1052 into at least two distinct
portions A and B and gives structure to flexible travel purse 1050 during
folding. This allows each of two or more segments A and B to be folded
over each other to close travel purse 1050 for storage and
transportation. This type of construction further cushions the jewelry
and accessories and reduces the likelihood of their being damaged during
storage and transportation. Travel purse 850 can be configured with a
total overall length of 10.5 inches and an overall width of 6 inches in
the open position. Alternatively, these measurements can be varied in
order to suit user need.

[0057] According to certain embodiments, the panel can alternatively be
made of polyurethane foam, polyester batting or any other material that
can provide the rigidity necessary to allow accessory system 100 to be
folded in such a manner as described. Seams 1020 separating section A and
section B (at least one of which contains a panel) can be spaced a
vertical distance C of one half of 1 inch apart to facilitate folding.
Alternatively, this distance can be varied based on the number of
sections like A and B and length of such portions.

[0058] According to certain embodiments, inner layer 1052 can be made of
any variety of one or more flexible materials such as--but not limited
to--felt, woven fabrics, knit fabrics, non-woven fabrics, leather,
artificial leather, vinyl, flexible composites, coated fabrics, or any
other similar materials. In addition, inner layer 1052 can have an
additional mesh layer 1058 coupled to the top of inner layer 1052 by
sewing, gluing, stapling or any method of fusing mesh layer 1058 to inner
layer 1052. Mesh layer 1058 can be configured in a manner that jewelry
such as earrings can be hung off the holes in mesh layer 1058.

[0059] According to certain embodiments, travel purse 1050 can further
include multiple hook and loop surfaces 1054 which allow for coupling of
any of jewelry tabs 530, 630, 730 or 1130 (shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B)
with a similar hook and loop surface. This way different items of jewelry
can be stored on the various tabs and transferred to travel purse 1050 in
an organized manner with travel purse 1050 then being stored in a hidden
manner on inner hidden layer 206 (shown in FIG. 3) of accessory system
100. In this way jewelry is hidden in accessory system 100 in an
inconspicuous manner and kept safe from someone looking to steal jewelry
who would simply see a pretty dress hanging. Travel purse 1050 can
conveniently be removed from accessory system 100 and be transported
separately, thus keeping the desired subset of jewelry pieces in an
organized manner which is easy to access. Additionally, travel purse 1050
further includes multiple hook and loop surfaces 1056 coupled to the
perimeter of inner layer 1052 on section A which allow for coupling to
corresponding hook and loop surfaces 1056 on section B to secure travel
purse 1050 in a folded or closed configuration.

[0060] According to certain embodiments, travel purse 1050 can include one
or more pockets 1014 that provide separate areas where different types of
jewelry and accessories can be neatly stored and organized. The front of
pockets 1014 can be completely or partially made of a transparent or
translucent material 1016 through which the jewelry/accessories can be

accessories such as--but not limited to--bracelets, brooches and hair
clips. Pockets 1014 can be coupled to inner layer 1052 in a permanent
manner by sewing, gluing, stapling or any method of fusing the material
of pockets 1014 to the material of inner layer 1052. Alternatively
pockets 1014 can be coupled to inner layer 1052 in a removable manner by
snaps, magnets, ties, or any other similar method of attaching the tabs.
According to certain embodiments, transparent or translucent material
1016 includes but is not limited to mesh, lace, plastic, or any other
similar material.

[0061] According to certain embodiments pockets 1014 can be configured
such that a top opening 1018 of pockets 1014 can be made of an elastic
material which stretches to expand/open the pocket and contracts in the
closed position so as to keep accessories/jewelry in place in pocket 1014
during transportation and prevent jewelry from falling out. Pockets 1014
can also be configured with hook and look closures to keep pockets 1014
in the closed position. Alternatively, pockets 1014 can have a top
opening configured with fastening mechanisms such as zips, snap closures,
ties, interlocking tabs and slots or any other similar fastening
mechanisms to prevent the jewelry/accessories from falling out of pockets
1014 during transportation.

[0071] FIG. 16 illustrates an exemplary flowchart 1600 for
making/manufacturing an accessory organization, secure storage and
transportation system according to certain embodiments.

[0072] At 1610, flowchart 1600 begins with obtaining desired materials and
cutting the desired shapes. The shapes can include all or part of dress
shapes as shown in FIG. 1, butterfly shapes as show in FIG. 13, horse
head shapes as shown in FIG. 15, and/or football shapes as shown in FIG.
15. These shapes will be used to make the different components that make
up accessory system 100. The materials can be made of any variety of one
or more flexible materials such as--but not limited to--woven fabrics,
knit fabrics, non-woven fabrics, leather, artificial leather, vinyl,
flexible composites, coated fabrics, or any other similar materials.
Furthermore, other materials mentioned elsewhere in this disclosure can
be picked for various components of accessory system such as--but not
limited to--mesh, felt, lace, cardboard and any similar materials.

[0073] At 1620, flowchart 1600 continues with forming inner hidden layer
260, 1306 or 1406, which may include placing and coupling one or more
panels between two opposing layers of material to form inner hidden layer
206, 1306, or 1406. As shown in FIG. 2, inner hidden layer 206 can
include two opposing fabric layers of the same or different construction
and/or color. Inner hidden layer 206 can be configured such that it is a
layer separate from outer exposed dress layer 104 as shown in FIG. 2 or
inner hidden layer 206 can be configured such that it is located on the
opposite, inner side of outer exposed dress layer 104. Inner hidden layer
206 can include a panel made of but not limited to cardboard, plastic
sheeting, interfacing or other supporting material which is housed
between the two opposing fabric layers. According to certain embodiments,
the panel can alternatively be made of polyurethane foam, polyester
batting or any other material that can provide the rigidity necessary to
allow accessory system 100 to be folded in such a manner as described
elsewhere in this disclosure.

[0074] As shown in FIG. 2, inner hidden layer 206 can include two opposing
fabric layers of the same or different construction and/or color which
can be coupled together by sewing, gluing, stapling or any method of
fusing the two opposing layers together. The panel which is housed
between the two opposing fabric layers can be kept in place by stitched
seams 220 which keep the two opposing fabric layers coupled to each
other. Alternatively seams 220 can be made by sewing, gluing or stapling
the two opposing fabric layers together. Such a construction segments
inner hidden layer 206 into one or more portions 226 which can give
structure to flexible accessory system 100 during folding, allowing each
of the one or more segments to be folded into a more compact package for
transportation. This type of construction further cushions the jewelry
and accessories and reduces the likelihood of their being damaged during
storage and transportation. Seams 220 separating the portions of inner
hidden layer 206 containing the panels can be spaced at vertical
intervals 222 of 2 inches apart to facilitate folding. Alternatively,
this distance can be varied based on the number and width of portions
226.

[0075] At 1630, flowchart 1600 continues with coupling connectors, such
as, for example, one or more hook and loop surfaces, to inner hidden
layer, which may be performed earlier within flowchart 1600. As shown in
FIG. 2, inner hidden layer 206 can include one or more hook and loop
strip(s) 224 coupled to inner hidden layer 206 permanently by sewing,
gluing, stapling or any method of fusing hook and loop strip(s) 224 onto
inner hidden layer 206. Alternatively hook and loop strip(s) 224 can be
coupled in a removable manner to inner hidden layer 206 by a magnet on
both surfaces and any similar method of attachment, such as snaps,
buttons, zippers, and so on. Hook and loop strips 224 can be configured
to receive a corresponding hook and loop surface located on one or more
jewelry dress travel purses (shown in FIGS. 3, 8, 9 and 10) so as to
couple the travel purse(s) to inner hidden layer 206. In this way, any of
travel purses 850 (shown in FIG. 8) or 1050 (shown in FIG. 10) containing
several pieces of jewelry is stored safely in an inconspicuous manner on
hidden layer 206 of accessory system 100.

[0076] At 1640, flowchart 1600 continues with coupling at least one outer
layer of material to inner hidden layer to finish the basic accessory
system shape. As shown in FIG. 1, outer exposed dress layer 104 can be
made of any variety of one or more flexible materials such as--but not
limited to--woven fabrics, knit fabrics, non-woven fabrics, leather,
artificial leather, vinyl, flexible composites, coated fabrics, or any
other similar materials. The back view (not shown) of outer exposed layer
104 can be identical to the front view, or not, with all elements on the
front view being included on the back view. Outer exposed layer 104 can
be configured such that it is a layer separate from inner hidden layer
206 as shown in FIG. 2 or inner hidden layer 206 can be configured such
that it is located on the opposite, inner side of outer exposed dress
layer 104. Outer exposed layer 104 can be lifted up in order to access
and expose inner hidden layer 206. Alternatively, outer exposed layer 104
can be configured with a zip that can be unzipped to expose inner hidden
layer 206. Outer exposed layer 104 can also be configured with a slit
cutout though which inner hidden layer 206 can be accessed and exposed.
Accessory system 100 can then be finished by adding any decorative trim
such as ruffles 108, painting, adding decorative stitches and patterns to
accessory system 100.

[0077] At 1650, flowchart 1600 continues with coupling connectors, such
as, for example, one or more hook and look surfaces, or pockets, to outer
layer(s), which may be performed earlier within flowchart 1600. In
certain embodiments, the connectors discussed herein can be coupled to
either the front or back outer layer (or both) of accessory system 100.
As shown in FIG. 1, accessory system 100 can include one or more lines of
trim 112 coupled to jewelry dress 102 which can be configured with a hook
and loop material to allow various jewelry tabs 530 (shown in FIGS. 5A
and 5B), 630 (shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B), 730 (shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B)
or 1130 (shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B) with corresponding hook and look
surfaces to be coupled thereon in a removable manner. Alternatively lines
of trim 112 can be configured so as to allow removable coupling of
jewelry tabs 530, 630, 730 and/or 1130 by snaps, magnets, ties, or any
other similar method of attaching jewelry tabs 530, 630, 730 and/or 1130.
According to certain embodiments, trim 112 can be configured in such a
way that jewelry tabs 530, 630, 730 and/or 1130 can be permanently
coupled to trim 112 on jewelry dress 102 by sewing, gluing, stapling or
any method of fusing the material of trim 112 to the material of jewelry
tabs 530, 630, 730 and/or 1130.

[0078] According to certain embodiments, accessory system 100 can further
include one or more pockets 114 that provide areas where different types
of jewelry and/or accessories can be neatly stored and organized. The
front of pockets 114 can be completely or partially made of a transparent
or translucent material 116 through which the jewelry/accessories can be
viewed. Pockets 114 can be configured to contain larger accessories such
as--but not limited to--bracelets, bangles or any larger items. Pockets
114 can be coupled to jewelry dress 102 in a permanent manner by sewing,
gluing, stapling or any method of fusing the material of pockets 114 to
the material of jewelry dress 102. Alternatively pockets 114 can be
coupled to jewelry dress 102 in a removable manner by snaps, magnets,
ties, buttons, or any other similar method of attaching jewelry tabs 530,
630, 730 and/or 1130. According to certain embodiments, transparent or
translucent material 116 includes but is not limited to mesh, lace,
plastic, or any other similar material.

[0079] According to certain embodiments, pockets 114 can be configured
such that a top opening 118 of pockets 114 can be made of an elastic
material which stretches to expand/open pockets 114 and contracts in the
closed position so as to keep accessories/jewelry in place in pockets 114
during transportation and prevent jewelry from falling out. Pockets 114
can also be configured with hook and look closures to keep pockets 114 in
the closed position. Alternatively, pockets 114 can have a top opening
configured with fastening mechanisms such as zips, snap closures, ties,
interlocking tabs and slots or any other similar fastening mechanisms to
prevent the jewelry/accessories from falling out of pockets 114 during
transportation.

[0080] At 1660, flowchart 1600 continues with creating one or more
jewelry/accessory containers to be coupled to inner hidden layer. This
may be optional to the previously discussed ways of making accessory
system 100 or performed at any point prior to or during the other parts
of flowchart 1600, which is why it is illustrated using a dashed line
from 1650. As shown in FIGS. 8, 9 and 10, one or more jewelry purses can
be created and configured to store jewelry/accessories and one or more of
jewelry tabs 530, 630, 730 and 1130 thereon. Jewelry purses 850 and 950
can be constructed as described elsewhere in this disclosure and can be
configured with one or more hook and loop surfaces to be coupled to
corresponding hook and loop surfaces on hidden layer 206 for secure
storage and transportation.

[0081] At 1670, flowchart 1600 continues with step 1608 of creating one or
more jewelry/accessory tabs to be coupled to outer layer(s), inner hidden
layer and/or jewelry accessory containers. This may be optional to the
previously discussed ways of making accessory system 100 or performed at
any point prior to or during the other parts of flowchart 1600, which is
why it is illustrated using a dashed line from 1650. As shown in FIGS.
5A, 5B, 6A, 6B, 7A, 7B, 11A and 11B, various jewelry tabs 530, 630, 730
and 1130 can be constructed to carry jewelry/accessories and then be
coupled on any one or more of jewelry containers 850 and 1050, or to
inner hidden layers 206, 1306, 1406, or 1506, or to outer exposed layer
104, 1304, 1404, or 1504. Jewelry tabs 530, 630, 730 and 1130 can be
constructed as described elsewhere in this disclosure.

[0082] After learning the teachings of this disclosure, it will be evident
to those skilled in the art that many, many variations can be made to the
disclosed embodiments. These variations may include, but are not limited
to, differing sizes, dimensions, shapes, materials, layers, attachment
means, feature quantities, feature placement, manufacturing steps or step
ordering and so on. All of such variations, as well as many others, are
intended to be within the scope of the claims.
